Dear Sir or Madam,
I, Micheal Slater, writing to you regarding the advertisement you posted in an Australian magazine a couple of days ago. Please allow me to express my interest in the child
care
profession and to request you to consider my application.
Firstly
, when I came across the advertisement for the need of a child care
professional, I got excited about the opportunity as I feel great taking care
of kids. Personally, I like this
work since it allows me to recall my amazing childhood memories and forget all the tension in life. In addition
, I have 6 years of experience in this
field. I take care
of the kids really well. I got many appreciations from my previous clients. Currently, I am free to take up this
work for you and I assure you won’t regret the decision of offering me this
job.
Furthermore
, I like Australia for its natural beauty and the pleasant weather. I am interested to travel and visiting many famous spots in and around the country in my leisure time.
I hope it would be great if you let me take up this
responsibility for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
MichealSubmitted by Arjun on

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
